This week in awesomeness.

Rather than write about my past week in Tununak with school being canceled Monday due to high wind, canceled Tuesday due to frozen pipes resulting in honeybuckets Wednesday, a trip to the health clinic Wednesday to be tested for strep (negative), a relatively mellow Thursday, and bad weather Friday canceling flights for both the JH and HS basketball tournaments this weekend I wanted to share a few things I found or revisited from the outside that are pretty great.

The first is a blog by George Orwell.  Kind of.  The blog consists of postings from Orwell's journal posted exactly seventy years after Orwell himself wrote them.  An obsession with farming and how many eggs his chickens laid each day...double plus good.

The second is another blog - this one with with a collection of six sentence stories.  A little longer than the well known short story by Hemingway ("For sale: baby shoes, never warn.") these are nonetheless good fun to browse.

One last blog of note is a collection of terrible library books submitted by librarians.  Great.
